There was one problem: the vagueness of Revelation's imagery almost immediately inaugurated a nearly 2,000-year End Times guessing game. Some of the most heated speculation has been about precisely when the Apocalypse would start. (Wrote an annoyed St. Augustine: "To all those who make calculations...
